Witness For The Prosecution - Christie

Well, I was standing on the corner

In the middle of the street, yeh

Well, I was minding my own business

Trying to be discreet, yeh

Too much time on my hands

Too much wine, one-night stands

I was looking for some easy action

Being bored to the point of distraction

When suddenly I saw a man

With a shotgun in his hands

Running out of the bank

Now I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

Swear by almighty God

That the evidence I will give

Will be the truth, the whole truth

And nothing but the truth

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

Sure looks like a mess

How did I get into this

I didn’t want to get involved

I’m just a humble city dude, yeh

But the cop was so persuasive

I just could not refuse, yeh

«Listen son,"said a voice

«Testify, you got no choice»

I didn’t want no aggravation

So I accepted the situation

He said you’re making a mistake

If you don’t cooperate

You better not change your mind

Now I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

Swear by almighty God

That the evidence I will give

Will be the truth, the whole truth

And nothing but the truth

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

I’m a witness for the prosecution

Sure looks like a mess

How did I get into this
